EU Retreats on Prop-Trading Ban; Nations Back Separation

December 23, 2014--The European Union's biggest banks may be spared a ban on proprietary trading, with a majority of the bloc's member states preferring for such activities to be split off into separately capitalized units.

A narrowly defined ban aimed at banks' dedicated proprietary trading desks proposed this year by the European Commission, the EU's executive arm, has failed to win support, according to a report prepared by Italy, which holds the EU’s rotating presidency. The measure is part of a broader proposal on managing risks at the bloc's systemically important banks.

ESMA consults on different share classes of UCITS

December 23, 2014--The European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) has published a discussion paper on different share classes of UCITS.

The UCITS Directive recognises the possibility for UCITS to offer different share classes to investors but it does not prescribe whether, and to what extent, share classes of a given UCITS can differ from each other.

ESMA has identified diverging national practices as to the types of share class that are permitted, ranging from very simple share classes e.g. with different levels of fees, to much more sophisticated share classes e.g. with potentially different investment strategies.

World Bank Lowers 2014 GDP Growth Estimate for Turkey to 3.1 Percent, Maintains 2015 Forecast

December 23, 2014--A weak Q3 GDP print means end-year growth is likely to come in just above 3 percent. However the disappointing headline number is mainly due to a reduction in inventories with other components of domestic demand signaling improvements, according to the World Bank's Turkey Regular Economic Brief[i] No: 5-issued today in Ankara.

Moreover, the outlook for inflation and the current account has improved substantially due to a sharp decline in oil prices. The World Bank's 2015 growth projection remains unchanged at 3.5 percent.

UPDATE 1-UK to extend Libor manipulation laws to cover gold, oil, silver

December 22, 2014--Britain will widen the scope of laws which make the manipulation of market benchmarks a criminal offence to include seven more rates covering the currency, gold, oil and silver markets by April 1, the government said on Monday.

The move is the latest by the Conservative-led government to clamp down on malpractice in the City of London whose reputation has been tarnished by an interest rate-rigging scandal and claims that traders colluded to manipulate currency rates.

ESAs tackle cross-selling practices in the financial sector

December 22, 2014--The Joint Committee of the three European Supervisory Authorities (EBA, EIOPA and ESMA) published today a consultation paper on draft Guidelines for regulating cross-selling practices in the financial sector across the EU.

These guidelines establish a coherent and effective approach in supervising firms that offer cross-selling options, so as to enhancing protection of EU customers. The consultation will run until 22 March 2015.

The draft Guidelines are aimed at EU competent authorities and develop further how EU firms engaging in cross-selling practices in the financial sector should comply with the general conduct of business standards expected toward customers. In particular, the Guidelines provide an approach for supervising firms valid across the EU and give more scope for EU customers to take better informed purchasing decisions.
